From forming the best strategy, compiling and submitting forms, to liaising with the local Planning Officers, gaining final permission, and ensuring the annexe build is within Building Control requirements, we handle every last detail.

When it comes to annexes, the law can be complicated. That’s why we handle the whole planning and building regulations approval processes for our customers, giving them less to worry about. 

Annexes are generally classified as ‘ancillary’ to the main house (that is, they can be inhabited whilst sharing certain facilities of the family home – for example, the address, access point or garden). This means they can’t be classed under Permitted Development Rights.

To offer the greatest likelihood of planning approval, our specialists tend to adopt a two-pronged attack. We’ve developed this unique approach through many years of experience, and it achieves planning permission in over 90% of cases. Simply put, we submit a Householder Application in the first instance, followed by the same plan submission under the Caravan Act as a safety net.
